What can we say that will make this stick in their heads?
GENTLE READER:
“Wow. You boys must be hungry, but I am worried that with your speedy eating, you might choke. Please try to slow down so that we can all enjoy the meal and conversation together.” If this is not effective, Miss Manners feels certain that eating like this in front of potential romantic partners may prove more so.A few years ago, I had some surgery and missed a family gathering.
An aside: When I was married, my husband would never sign a card I was sending, but pitched a fit if I refused to sign a card he was sending. I was confused by that.You will forgive Miss Manners if she pitches her own fit over the impersonal nature of greeting cards in the first place. Adding eight signatures to it feels even more insulting — as if a treaty is being signed, not a wish for a swift recovery.
